Willy the guinea pig hopes to find his niche by joining the Pig Scouts, but the other scouts tease him because he's not really a pig. On a hike, when he and another scout fall into a deep hole, Willy (not too surprisingly) uses special guinea pig skills, such as digging, to help them escape. Expressive watercolors and lively writing make it easy to root for Willy.
